Abstract

The authors experienced a case of neuroepithelial cyst which was found deep inside the brain, involving the ventricular septum. A 2 months old female patient was presented with convulsion. Characteristic CT findings showing multiloculated cystic structures were seen. Operation was carried out to confirm multiple intraventricular cysts containing yellowish fluid. Histologically the cyst wall consisted of simple cuboidal epithelium and fibrous connective tissue. A brief review of the related literature was made.
